why do people like the 'worn' look? its like going to a job interview for CEO of apple in a really sh*tty crap looking rusty volvo from like 1970 people cant take you seriously i mean, if i was to buy an instrument which looks like a pile of sh*t, i'd ask for a discount because of the piss poor condition its in!!

i bought one of these flanger preppy style-f1 headphone amps to practice with, just noodling around and stuff.. i got it off ebay for like 13 quid odd delivered. i figured, if it turned out to be crap i wouldnt cry about it seeing as it was pretty cheap. its actually not too bad. the tone control doesnt really do anything and the overdrive is a bit farty. BUT on clean, it sounds alright! its got a built in battery which is charged via USB, fairly long life..x so many hours so i am told. meh whatever... auxiliary in, to jam along to your tracks, like that feature. thats about it. pretty simple device but overall, it does what its supposed to do and ACTUALLY sounds okay. what about you? have you guys bought some cheap looking things which actually turned out to be alright?

I forget to mention its the old TE stuff lol you know the stuff which weighs like a house. But in its defence it sounds good. Clothes wise I don't think I am chav. I don't really wear sports gear. Oh actually. I have a sub in my car. Now that's chavvy!! Yeah. What? I like bass.

I guess I qualify for this club. I play cheap bass into TE rig.

Usually the rattles come from the machine heads... I had an acoustic which did exactly as you mentioned. Blue tack sorted that out pdq.

Seen them before.... Don't like.

Sometimes it is easier to play an open A rather than a fretted one... Like when I am doing Ds and A walks etc Depends really whether I require to fret the note to make the run to the next note easier, most of the time I'm lazy and have sloppy playing... Might use open notes or fretted ones...

If my LMB3 Stopped working then I would play guitar I guess...

Oh.. Well in that case then if you can't find anything on the Internet then it probably isn't worth buying!

Open it up and see of there are tubes in there...

Nah, it's only worth a tenner. I'll take it off your hands!

Joy division is okay... I dunno about the rest though.. Bat-core rock-core gunge etc..!?

I had a look at the spec of a couple of older ones and they do but what they don't have is a gain or level knob to match the instrument but that doesn't really matter as you can turn the vol up or down on the aux source...

Revisiting this ... The io2 doesn't work stand alone... I'm looking at line 6 pod... Is that any good???

Fart bass!

Recorded this morning.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?nomobile=1&v=-JKtoDfUX3s Shows all my gear too in silly subtitles !! Added bonus!

Yeah. I get nervous but just wing it, if you are going to play sh*t then so be it and go with it You are only as good as your last bum note!!

As it suggests, what are the most useful and absolutely necessary pedals on your board? I.e. if they broke prior to gig with no backup = you are fked. Mine probably are TU3/LMB3/SYB3 and maybe CEB3 but quintessentially the LMB3 if I had to choose one pedal to take. It makes my signal red hot and brickwalled. Just the way I like it.
